Hi,
My husband and I have split up last month. Nothing has been separated financially as yet. After Christmas this will be done.
I've checked entitled to and I see I can claim tax credits to top up my wages however my husband is suggesting on his 2 days off per week he wants to stay at the family home with the kids and I stay with my family. This is because he is staying with family and the kids can't stay there with him. I think this will mean I can't claim tax credits. Am I thinking right?
Thanks for any replies.

Not necessarily, BUT why move out at all?
If things are reasonably amicable why not continue to live together?0 -

He has every right to be there, however he can't force you to leave. Can you be amicable under one roof for the two days?0 -
I think her concern is if ex moves into their home for 2 night per week, then she could be reported for still living together as a couple and wouldn't be entitled to tax credits as a single person.0

Not sure how it works for finances but my friends who are divorced share both a home and a flat. The kids stay put in the house and they take turns to stay in the flat. An unusual set up but works well for them.0

You can keep separate households whilst living in the same house. Other than the obvious not sleeping together, you have to do separate shopping, laundry, food preparation and cooking and sharing utility bills.0
